Valiant Hearts

Valiant Hearts

Suspenseful and moving in equal measures, Valiant Hearts tells the true story of exceptional bravery and survival against all odds. The story recounts the odyssey of six Jewish children in August 1942 who are forced to take refuge where no one will ever think to look for them: amongst the Louvre Museum artworks, including the Mona Lisa, hidden in the Château de Chambord.

Between fear and unexpected encounters, the children learn about independence and discover solidarity and friendship despite the tumultuous circumstances. The children’s incidental guardians - in the form of Louvre curators - were inspired by Rose Valand, a conservator at Paris’s Jeu de Paume Museum and a member of the resistance who spied and documented artwork thefts carried out by Nazi officers.
